“Stuck”
Imagine being stuck using something that works for 30 years.
- Comment on If I have a cupcake. And then I take the frosting off the cupcake. Is it still a cupcake, or a muffin? 2 days ago:
It’s still a cupcake because it’s cake and not muffin. Cake is a sweeter and fluffier kind of bread because it has more sugar and fat, whereas muffins are basically just dense bread.
- Comment on If I have a cupcake. And then I take the frosting off the cupcake. Is it still a cupcake, or a muffin? 2 days ago:
No. A cupcake is defined by being a cake in a cup. Muffins aren’t cakes.

Technically, they didn’t, they just never corrected someone who did, and it spread far.

- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 1 week ago:
I just rsync it once in a while to a home server running my dad’s house. I want it done manually in a “pull” direction rather than a “push” in case I ever get hit with ransomware.

Ten out of beans.

If I were a nonbinary parent, I’d definitely go with “elder”.

- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 1 week ago:
I’d be willing to pay that. But honestly, I’ll probably wait until it’s on sale.
- Comment on In Movies and TV shows, its always ambiguous if someone is dead or merely knocked out. 1 week ago:
Also if there eyes aren’t charred, they’re fine.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
Can you imagine your grandparents trying to use Linux and then looking stuff up on their own and then doing something wrong because they don’t know what distro they’re on? Nightmare.
My mom is in no way technically inclined. Quite the opposite in fact. She’s been using Ubuntu since 2015. My dad used to try to switch her back to Windows once in a while, and she’d yell at him that she hated it, then he’d switch her back. My dad finally came around a couple years ago after getting a Steam Deck, and now he uses Fedora.
Funnily enough, since Ubuntu and Fedora both use Gnome, they have the same interface. I also use Fedora and Bazzite. All of these OSes use Gnome. They all have the same interface (when Bazzite is in Desktop Mode).
So, really, I don’t know what you’re on about.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
It works exactly like a piglin. You toss Microsoft some gold, and maybe they’ll give you the right setting.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
Literally everything? Hardly anything requires a terminal these days. The only reason tutorials tell you to use a terminal is because they don’t know what GUI you’re using. You can usually do the same thing in the GUI.
- Comment on I found an interesting USB-C alternative to barrel jack wall warts. Thought I'd share... 1 week ago:
This is called a PD Trigger or a PD Emulator. They come in adapters too with a female USB C port and are only a few inches long.
Like this:
I’ve used several of them before. They’re super useful.
- Comment on Over 250 CEOs sign open letter supporting K-12 AI and computer science education 2 weeks ago:
Why the fuck would anyone listen to what a CEO has to say about education? Or, really anything for that matter?
- Comment on Kyiv can’t guarantee safety of foreign leaders on May 9 in Moscow, Zelenskyy says 2 weeks ago:
I feel like Russia and Putin would be done for if they let some international leader get sploded right in their capital.

Ok, thank you! If I can add support for that, I definitely will.
- Comment on Request for desired features on a self hosted ereader app. 2 weeks ago:
If Calibre-Web can sync with WebDAV, it should work. I don’t know about it though, so I don’t know if that’s possible.
- Comment on Request for desired features on a self hosted ereader app. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never even heard of that. There’s an NPM package for it, so I might be able to add it if that package works in React Native.

That’s just cause he has no friends, so he assumes you don’t either.
